4 Ways To Tell If You Need A New Thermostat

As the seasons come and go, your home battles a series of hot and cold demands. Whether you need to cool off or warm-up, we always find ourselves searching for comfort and finding the right setting for your thermostat. Unfortunately, as the years continue to pass, thermostats tend to become less reliable. Be sure to look for these pivotal signs that your thermostat might be on its last legs.

Unresponsive to settingsYour thermostat should instantly respond to the temperature setting of your choice. If you don’t hear a ticking sound or immediately feel a difference in your home’s environment, this could be a warning sign that your thermostat has become unresponsive to temperature settings.

Short-cyclingWhen an HVAC system fails to complete a full heating and cooling cycle, it’s known as short-cycling. This type of malfunction will make your home feel especially intolerable.

Lack of powerOne of the most obvious signs of failure is your thermostat not turning on. When a thermostat loses connection to its HVAC system, it usually means there is an issue with wiring.

Differing temperaturesIf there are significantly varied temperatures throughout your home, your thermostat is definitely confused. This means that your HVAC system is distributing air unevenly and ineffectively.

With these four signs in mind, it’s important to check the status of your thermostat. As winter approaches, maintenance can’t be stressed enough. At Champion AC, we recommend a Nest Pro thermostat to prepare for the upcoming holidays. Our professional installation service can help save you time, money and unwanted HVAC headaches.

Champion AC provided superior customer service from start to finish. Their Service Technician, Aaron Christensen, immediately assessed the problem and was honest and explained everything thoroughly. Once we decided on a new AC system, Roland and his crew did a great job of installing the unit. They were professional, efficient, and always mindful of our home. We will gladly recommend Champion AC.
